Comments Thread For: Algieri Climbs Off Canvas To Shock Provodnikov In Brooklyn

[FistoftheDallasStar]

Ruslan looked too relaxed out there. His style is dictated by his aggressiveness. He let Algieri steal the fight from him. HBO was trying to talk up Algieri that he had a great night. I just think Provodnikov had a bad night. He might just be a fighter who only rises to big name opponents and kind of gets bored when he is the favorite.

Oh. This is the guy Marquez is supposedly ducking. I said it before and I'll say it again. Marquez out boxes Provo. Easily and tko'd him late.

haha i know and then everyone is going to cry and say "look, he is on peds because he KO'd someone at 41 years old"

Provo just said he wants a fighter who stands in front of him not a boxer LOL.

funny how he had the chance to fight bam bam and passed it. and some people saying provo would ko lucas, no way, he stops everything with his face, i love his style but he needs to improve his defense, not everybody is a light puncher like algieri.

Roach sucks he had a heavy favorite and couldn't win tonight. he had no plan b. he was lucky last weak sergio was damaged goods that cotto looked really good.

What a ****** thing to say...Freddie told ruslan in many occasions to throw the uppercut, but he never did. Wtf do u want Freddie to jump in the ring & throw it for him. Roach is one of the best ever & a hall of famer.

Funny how when you're an American...

You need to win clearly beat the belt holder to gain the title... BUT when you're the yank DIFFERENT scenario isn't it...

Pathetic by USA and another reason why European title holders should not fight in American due to the heavy bias and favoritism of the so called American prospect.

I'm from the us and know that was a garbage decision. Algeri may have taken 3 rounds clean , there were 3 or so That were close and the rest was all Provo. Throw in the 2 knockdowns and there's no way Chris could win. Look no further than his family's reaction to the surprise when he was announced the winner to know who really deserved to win.

From the scores the 2 judges 4 Algieri scored 10-8 for 2 kd's not the accepted 10-7...DeLuca is s WBC judge & gave Ruslan 9 rounds & had it 10-8. 4 1st round...I had it 8-4 ;4 the loser...his heavier punching offset the volume,IMO...

post up pics of the scorecards, if not. shut the **** up. you ****** BS "experts" and your allegations.

Thought it was a very close fight aside from the two knock downs. I'm not surprised of this decision. Also I think Rios will ko Ruslan.

You're an absolute idiot. Remind me, who has Rios ever beaten?

[AgainstTheRopes]

lot of ignorant posters dont understand what sport they are watching. Boxing, the point is to outbox your opponent. Algieri absolutely did enough

[Pigeons]

Showcase fight right? BoxingScene fans are so inept. I thought Provodinkov won from the initial viewing, but I can't help but feel happy for Algieri, sort of like the Peterson-Khan fight.

Sour g****s from Ruslan in the post-fight interview sealed the deal for me. Crybaby just like Floyd. Funny how things fall apart when things don't go your way.

All you pacquiao nut huggers quit crying, provo got his as s whooped
You are looking at pacs next potential opponent (provo).
